Heroes of Silver Moon
Chapter 515: : Ambush at sea (2)
"My lord, those humans seem to have discovered our ambush, and they are turning now." Seeing that the human fleet began to turn, a Sea Clan watchman said quickly.
Tidecaller Raging Wave frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, the commander of this human fleet is quite cautious, but unfortunately... since they want to run away, let's go after them and order the fleet to turn around. Pursue the human fleet!"
"Yes!" The herald beside him nodded, and shouted with a smirk: "There are all ships, turn to pursue!"
The flag bearer waved the flag to convey the order to the other ships. The Sea Tribe sailors on the deck were busy running around.
On the surface of the sea, like a racing car drifting, the five Sea Clan ships quickly and naturally completed their turn, and under the blessing of the current, they rushed straight towards the Silver Moon Fleet.
On the Heroic Singer, the watchman immediately noticed this situation and shouted: "The Sea Clan ship turned and rushed towards us, very fast!"
At the bow, Viscount Doyle's face changed slightly, and he quickly opened the binoculars to observe the situation. Guy and Gomez next to him looked at each other with ugly expressions.
"How could their speed be so fast?" Viscount Doyle murmured in disbelief as he put down the binoculars.
On the endless sea, speed is the lifeline of a ship, even if it is only 10% faster than the opponent, that is an overwhelming speed advantage.
Generally speaking, the speed of warships is at least 50% faster than armed merchant ships, which is also the guarantee for warships to crush armed merchant ships.
But now, that group of Sea Clan actually used a bunch of armed merchant ships to run faster than their warships. This is not something that can be explained by common sense at all.
"Order the highest level of alert in the fleet, First Officer Gomez, you go to the helm, Second Officer Guy, you go to pass the order, all warships speed up and turn, sail westward to break through the enemy's encirclement, and the attack circle begins to recharge!"
When things go wrong, there must be a demon. Faced with this weird situation, Viscount Doyle suddenly became alert.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" Gomez and Guy replied at the same time, and ran to carry out the order with serious faces.
After taking over the rudder from the third officer, Gomez steered it very skillfully.
As the first mate of the Valiant Singer, except for Viscount Doyle who was the captain, he was more familiar with the ship's performance than anyone else.
Under a mast, Guy grabbed a hemp rope and slammed his foot on the plank. Suddenly the winch rolled and dragged him to a platform above the mast.
There are several small flags placed here, and there is also a copper pipe that leads directly to the cabin along the mast.
First, through the semaphore, Viscount Doyle's order was issued to the other warships, and then Guy took a deep breath and shouted towards the copper pipe: "Commander-in-Chief's order, all attack circles start charging!"
In the most central cabin, several mages on board the ship were reading books leisurely, discussing the mysteries of spells, and the orders came through the copper pipe, making them frown in dissatisfaction.
But as mages loyal to the royal family, they still faithfully performed their duties and returned to their posts to stand by.
The mage who was in charge of attacking the magic circle opened a wooden box at hand, and the magic crystals emitting a faint blue light were neatly arranged in the wooden box.
"Tsk, it's just dealing with a group of sea bandits. Is it necessary to use the attack circle? What a waste!"
The mage complained a little, but his hands didn't stop. He took out five magic crystals and stuffed them into the grooves of the console in front of him.
hum! hum! hum! The magic power was injected, and the runes and magic circle lines lit up one after another. The mage pressed the crystal ball in the middle of the console with both hands, and began to manipulate the attack circle.
The surfaces of the five masts outside also shone with the brilliance of spell runes, and the magic power continued to flow into the top, and a deadly power began to brew.
Except for the five-masted warship Brave Singer, the same is true for the other six three-masted warships. While turning away, the top of the mast began to condense red light.
Tidecaller Raging Waves manipulated the water flow and pushed the five Sea Clan ships forward quickly. Seeing that they were getting closer, but the human fleet began to gather magic power on the mast, he couldn't help but feel serious.
The commander of this human fleet is very good in terms of intuition and experience. Although the level of commanding the fleet is not top-notch, he is by no means the kind of fat-headed and big-eared nobleman who knows how to command blindly all day long.
"Closer, closer." Judging his casting distance, Tidecaller Rage murmured.
In addition to speed, distance is also a key factor in winning a naval battle. The trebuchets and bed crossbows on the warship have an attack distance of only three or four hundred meters at most, and they are of no use at all.
But the attack circle is different. The attack circle of the three-masted warship has a casting distance of up to 800 meters, and the farthest of the five-masted warship is 1,200 meters. Although the charging speed is slow, in most cases, It is still necessary to rely on boarding battles to resolve the battle.
But the armed merchant ships driven by the Sea Clan are thin-skinned. If all the magic circle attacks of the human fleet hit their ships, they may not even have a chance to fight on board.
Fortunately, as a master tide caller, Raging Wave's spellcasting distance on the sea is also far beyond that of ordinary master spellcasters.
"The enemy ship has entered the range of the Valiant Singer, do you want to strike?" In the core cabin, the mage who controlled the attack circle shouted at the copper pipe.
The sound was conveyed to Guy's ears through the brass pipes, and he was conveyed to Viscount Doyle's ears through shouting.
"Wait, wait until the enemy ship enters the strike range of the three-masted warship, and all the warships fire together, focusing on attacking the opponent's three-masted warship."
Viscount Doyle stared at the three-masted warship of the Sea Clan without blinking his eyes. Only this warship can cause them some trouble.
On the deck of the armed merchant ship, feeling the distance getting closer, a sneer appeared on the corner of Tidecaller Raging Wave's mouth. Next, it was time for him to perform.
…
Boom! The Heroic Singer, which was sailing fast, was shaken violently, causing everyone on board to stagger, and almost fell due to inertia.
Viscount Doyle stabilized his figure and hurried to the guardrail to check the situation.
I saw whirlpools suddenly appeared on the originally calm sea, trapping all their warships in them and spinning slowly.
"Damn it, it's the spellcaster of the Sea Clan!"
Realizing that the situation was wrong, Viscount Doyle quickly shouted to Guy: "Don't wait, aim at the three-masted warship opposite, and the Heroic Singer will strike alone~www.wuxiaspot.com~Yes!" Guy conveyed the order, and in the core cabin, the mage who controlled the attack circle poured spiritual power into the crystal ball with a calm face.
Since there are also casters on the opposite side, they can no longer be treated as ordinary sea people, and must go all out.
At the top of the five masts, the attack circle, which had been charged in advance, flashed a dazzling red light.
In an instant, five fireballs condensed out of thin air and smashed towards the only warship of the Sea Clan.
boom! Five big fireballs hit the target, and the sawdust that exploded on the warship flew horizontally. There were several large transparent holes in the ship's side armor, and a large number of Sea Race sailors on board were also killed or injured.
Sea water poured in along the hole, and the whole warship started to sink with black smoke.
The sailors on the Valiant Singer immediately shouted excitedly, but Viscount Doyle was too late to be happy, his pupils shrank, and cold sweat ran down his back in an instant.
fake! This warship of the Sea Clan is a fake! It is impossible for a real warship to be so fragile!
"Idiot!" Standing on the armed merchant ship, Tidecaller Rage sneered again, his right hand clenched the harpoon tightly, and the vortex that trapped the human fleet suddenly became more turbulent.
The closer the distance, the stronger his control over the sea water will naturally be.
boom! The sudden turbulence shocked the Valiant Singer again, and everyone staggered again.
The Sea Clan ships from the other three directions are getting closer and closer, and they are about to surround the Silver Moon First Fleet from four directions. Seeing the fleet trapped in the vortex, everyone's heart sank. down.
The situation is quite bad, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a premeditated ambush, and the other party is very sure that they will all be killed here.
